Getting started
Once an email account has been delegated to you (or once you have been granted access), you can begin accessing that account from your own account. To do so, complete the following steps:
- Log in to your CSUMB Google email account.
- Click your account photo or the circle with your first initial in it (located in the upper-right corner of the page).
- From the drop-down menu, select the desired delegated account. A new window or tab will open displaying the delegated account.
Transparency
With delegated addresses, the mail sent will include both a From and a Sent By email address.
This aligns with the original email specification that began in 1982 and was last updated in 2008 (see section 3.6.2 of RFC 5322), which emphasizes transparency and accountability by indicating "the mailbox of the agent responsible for the actual transmission of the message."
For example, if the From is animation@csumb.edu and the Sent By is wdisney@csumb.edu, then upon Reply or Reply All, only the From is used in the response.
In addition, many email clients outside of Gmail don't even show the Sent By as we see it in Gmail.
